recurring monthly revenue (RMR) financial
"contributing to the Company's growing base of recurring monthly revenue (RMR)"
Recurring monthly revenue (RMR) is the predictable income a business expects to receive every month from ongoing sources like subscriptions, service contracts, or maintenance fees. Investors care because it acts like a steady paycheck that smooths out ups and downs in one-time sales—higher RMR means more reliable cash flow, easier forecasting, and often a higher valuation, similar to renting out apartments versus selling houses one by one.

Investors care because agentic AI can boost productivity and create new revenue streams by automating complex work, but it also introduces risks (unexpected behavior, higher development costs, and regulatory scrutiny) that can affect company value and future cash flows.

AITX's RAD Secures Additional RIO 360 Expansion Order from Global Logistics Leader

Existing Enterprise Customer Adds Five More Autonomous Security Units for Midwest Deployment

Detroit, Michigan, July 20, 2026 -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCID:AITX), a developer and operator of AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD), has received an order for five additional RIO 360™ autonomous solar powered security trailers from an existing enterprise customer operating in the global logistics sector. The new units are scheduled to begin service during the Company's second fiscal quarter at a Midwest distribution facility.

The direct enterprise customer first deployed RAD solutions in 2023 and today operates dozens of RAD devices across its network. This latest order continues a multi-year relationship that has grown alongside the customer's expanding operational and security requirements.

Expansion orders from enterprise customers remain an important component of RAD's growth strategy, reflecting continued deployment activity within existing customer organizations while contributing to the Company's growing base of recurring monthly revenue (RMR). The Company expects the new RIO 360 units to be deployed and begin generating recurring revenue during its second fiscal quarter, which ends August 31, 2026.

"Enterprise customers have high expectations, and we believe those expectations should grow with every deployment," said Troy McCanna, Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Security Officer at RAD. "We value the opportunity to continue supporting this customer and remain committed to delivering the solutions and service that have helped build this relationship over the past several years."

Logistics and distribution centers frequently span hundreds of acres with multiple access points, vehicle traffic, and continuously changing operational activity. As security requirements grow, autonomous security solutions help organizations expand coverage without a corresponding increase in staffing, vehicle patrols, or traditional surveillance infrastructure, delivering real time awareness and responsive incident management across large scale operations.

The Company invites prospective clients, channel partners, and industry participants to connect with its team to learn how RAD's solutions can support their security and operational objectives.
